01 | Gandiva:
"O Brahma, Enlighten Me": A++
Type: Anti-Fortress
Range: 3~499
Maximum Target: 1~9999
The golden bow that was created by Brahma himself. It has no prototypes nor copies that has existed in the material world and the weapon was only used by gods before the first mortal that was able to use it came to be. That mortal was none other than Arjuna. Having used the bow to fend off his father, Indra, the bow is powerful enough to stand toe-to-toe against divine attacks of a god. Ever since Arjuna wielded the bow, he never lost in any fight, battle or war he attended. It was said that the bow itself is invincible and it cannot be destroyed nor lost.
The bow is covered with white light hiding its golden features and beauty. Because the bow is so beautiful and divine, any heroic spirit that sees it will automatically realize the identity of the weapon as there has only been one bow that is as magnificent as the creation of the universe and that is Gandiva.
When its name is said, the bow will fire a golden beam of light, similar to the light of the "greatest Holy Sword", however, the light is divine in form and nature. The light burns away its enemies but at the same time gives light and life to the daunted. Since the light fired was the same light as the "light of Creation", the Noble Phantasm is definitely Brahma's power itself.
The bow will never lose as it is created by the Creator to be invincible. | 02 | Krishna

01 | Magic Resistance
Rank C
The skill that grants protection against magical effects. At this rank, it is possible to cancel spells of chants that are below two verses. However, the Servant cannot defend against magecraft of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals. | 02 | Independent Action
Rank A
The mobility of a Servant even without the presence or command of a Master. It is possible to exist for 2 weeks even without prana supply from a Master however, backup is needed in order to use Noble Phantasms
| 03 | Divinity
Rank A
The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. Because he was the son of the God of Thunder, Indra, and the reincarnation of Nara, he possessed the highest Divine aptitude equal to Karna. It can break through special defenses like Protection of the Faith. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defense" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank. | 04 | Affections of the Devas
Rank A
The blessing and protection he gained in life. This is a skill born from the guidance and affection of being that is considered Divine. Arjuna was considered the favorite of the Devas and Indra's pride in him proves it. THe blessings and divine weapons he received in life especially before the Kurukshetra War outscales any blessing from any hero who had received help from gods in their life.
The effect of this skill occurs in combat. All stats except MGK are rank up while LUC increases to a level close to divine interference when Arjuna meets adversity. | 05 | Prana Burst(LIGHTNING)
Rank A
He is the legitimate son of the God of Thunder in the hindu mythology, Arjuna possessed the power to manifest LIGHTNING in his weapons.(similar to Karna possessing Prana Burst of Flames) Bhisma addressed Duhshashana in the Mahabharata with a smile and said, 'these arrows coursing towards me in one continuous line, whose touch resembleth that of heaven's bolt, have been shot by Arjuna’. If Karna is protected by the flames of the blazing Sun, Arjuna is protected by the destructive power of the Thunder God.
Increases the rank of all weapons enhanced by it dealing more damage than the rank of what it actually has. Example is Arjuna's arrows are Rank A with prana burst, the attacks are equivalent to a Rank A+ attack and adds an exploding effect on the arrows upon impact. He can also use the Prana Burst to manifest a "Golden Armor" that grants him special protection (the same way how Arturia's armor works) and immunity to lightning-based elemental attacks (due to Arjuna's elemental affinity being lightning.) If he removes the armor, it gives him more prana to utilize for his weapons. | 06 | Protection of the Bhagavad Gita
Rank N/A
The sacred scripture of the Hindus that was a dialogue between Prince Arjuna of the Pandavas and Sri Krishna. In this dialogue, Sri Krishna gave moral support to the young prince throughout the Mahabharata and boosted his confidence in every challenges he faced. It does not manifest as a "scripture" in Arjuna but rather the Bhagavad Gita acts as "a consciousness" to him, having been reminded to him and engraved onto his heart 'til death, one could say Bhagavad Gita is "one with Arjuna's Heart and Mind." The Bhagavad Gita, the support he gained from his best friend, was used in life in order to rid of hesitations and disruptions to his mind and heart and became capable of performing tasks with high effectiveness.
It gives Arjuna the ability to reach Dharma status and an alternate of mind/ changing ones state of mind. It does not increase the chances of victory or the chances of overturning a disadvantageous situation but promotes calm analysis of battle conditions as long as the user is in state of serene mind. A negative effect would cause the wielder of this skill to close his mind to all emotional thinking and sometimes rational ideas that contradicts to what he believes and his consciousness tell him that is right. |

01 | Personality
Arjuna is depicted as a wholesome and well-rounded personality, a healthy mind in a healthy body, a person whom any mother, wife and friend would cherish and be proud of.A man who seeks adventure not conflict. He is different from most heroes who desire conflict for glory as Arjuna never desired for conflict but rather adventure. It can be said that glory and honor comes to Arjuna rather than him seeking it.
Arjuna was also true and loyal to his friends and family.He was also sensitive and thoughtful, as demonstrated by his misgivings about the Kurukshetra war, which caused Sri Krishna to impart the Gita to him. His sense of duty was acute; he once chose to go into exile rather than refuse to help a brahmin.
He made an oath that he would not refuse to help any of his kinsfolk especially a brahmin. It was proven that when he and his brothers made a deal that no one would bother Draupada and one of the brothers cherishing a moment. If one would do so, it will result to exile. It was then when Arjuna needed to get weapons to go to a fight that his help was needed but the weapons were stored in the place where one of his brothers and Draupada are making love. Despite the consequences, Arjuna took arms disrupting the two's moment. Arjuna is also a man of his word. Even though it was an emergency that he needed to take arms, Arjuna accepted the punishment of exile ignoring his family's acceptance that it was an emergency and exile is not needed.
Going back to his sensitivity, Arjuna is a man who hesitates in every fight he will take. It is as if like traditional protagonists of stories. Arjuna does not like killing anyone needlessly especially one of his kinfolks. However, he is also the man that when takes up arms, will perform with highest effectiveness and could never fail.
Arjuna was a diligent and hardworking student. This background was the foundation of his outstanding military career. Arjuna trained archery in the night because he discovered that darkness improves one's precision and accuracy. He later developed a skill that enables him to shoot accurately without visualizing his target. Arjuna is described as one whose mind is spotless and clean of all impurities. Sri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita refers to Arjuna as Anagha, which means pure of heart or sinless. Arjuna's nobility is manifested in his magnanimity in victory and compassion towards adversaries. He bears all the injustice of the Kauravas with stoicism and yet hesitates to kill them just before the war.
Though he is pure at heart, Arjuna has always had extreme pride in his archery skills. He does not accept any challenge that he vows unworthy and underestimates foes that seems weaker than him and hesitates to use Gandiva right away. It does not act as an insult to his opponent or a boast of strength because Arjuna was always a man who dislikes needless killing and using all his strength to an opponent that could not even be compared second to him would only lead to massacre. Arjuna always have the knack of doing reckless things that makes people around him in trouble, even himself. Like making a vow then if failure of doing it, would end up punishing himself in the process. It happened many times and if not for Sri Krishna's advice Arjuna could have killed himself numerous times.
Although he is a pure man, as mentioned before, he seeks adventures tirelessly. A very audacious and broad-minded person, he always seeks thrills that makes his heart pump. A man who answers the request of others, Arjuna is also an ideal leader and hero for everyone in India. Which if he would summon there, he would have the highest fame as a heroic spirit. He was the man who accomplished everything, never lost to a single fight, and the man who always went to the right path.
Arjuna is a polite person, possibly due to his royal blood, he would always speak with honorifics regardless of one's social status. He is also one who seeks a fair fight and believes in the rules of warfare. He speaks in a gentleman like manner which one could see a vision of a "perfect man." His personality is so bright that he himself would be magnanimous to watch. Karna noted that Arjuna was beyond doubt a hero and just by seeing his eyes you could see a man who does not fear anything. He is also regarded as a man feared by many, and according to Karna, only the great Shiva was the man who would not fear Arjuna.
As prideful he is, he respects his opponents to the highest degree but does not like the idea of false loyalty and treacherous actions. For example, he was enraged when the Kaurava's break the law in the war and vowed to kill them. Possibly that breaking the law, or rule, set as a standard for all to follow, like God's will, is the ultimate mistake one would do in front of Arjuna. He is a man that has the potential to be a teacher. Having been thought by one of the greatest teachers ever in India, and learning the lessons instructed by Sri Krishna through the Gita, guiding someone like his Master is an easy task for the good-natured man.
Arjuna, who never died in a heroic fashion, does not have any wish of sort to be granted by the Holy Grail because he already attained almost everything he wished for. Even if he never ascended to heaven as a Pandava with a mortal body, he learned that regret was unnecessary and what happened due to your actions should only be accepted and be learned from. Arjuna however, given the chance to have a mortal body once again, wished to cross swords with someone who could make him fear death. In life, he fought to numerous battlefield but not once he was defeated. It was only his arch enemy and older brother, Karna, who made him seat beside death numerous times.
That is not his true wish but rather a desire he seeks. A desire of adventure that he does not care of the result but the process of the adventure itself. As kindhearted as he is, no one knows what the greatest hero deemed worthy of all the good in the world, wishes for the omnipotent wishing device. He claims he only wishes to end the needless conflict of killing the Magi but expresses interest in the war of the heroes as he considers it an adventure rather than conflict. His wish for the grail is nothing but a mystery.
| 02 | Character Background
Arjuna, born from the womb of Kunti and the Thunder God, Indra, is the third of the five Pandavas of India. Known for his unmatched skill in archery and his pure heart, Arjuna is the best and strongest of the five. He was thought by one of the greatest teachers and has competed against one of the fearsome archers of that time. However, at his coming age ceremony, he met Karna who challenged him into a fight to prove who is superior to the other. Arjuna was forced to decline, not because he was afraid nor he was confident but because of the tradition that only sons of higher than a son of a mere charioteer could challenge those who are considered to be royal in blood. That was one of the beginning of their rivalry. In another setting, to win the hand of marriage of Draupadi, the five Pandavas competed against many suitors and there Karna, disguised as a Brahmin, joined the competition. Karna stormed into the competition and created a ruckus that mocked everyone, even his brothers, there Arjuna sworn that he would kill Karna in the future.
Arjuna became close with his cousin and eventual best friend, Sri Krishna. Both were inseperable and neither fought in wars without the other. Sri Krishna acted as his charioteer as the role of the best friend is to guide Arjuna to the path of righteousness. He later created numerous heroic deeds that were mentioned several times. He vanquished demons, fought his father, Indra and even fought an entire army alone. Despite all the odds against him, he was never defeated in any fight he participated.
In the second great war, Arjuna faced three of the four greatest archers in India. He fought Drona, Bhima and Karna in what would be call the epic of the epics. Arjuna defeated Bhima and nearly won over Drona before he ascended to heaven to look for his son and was stabbed in his back and killed. Among the three, Karna was the man he was thrilled to fight the most. Not because both were equal in terms of prowess as a warrior but both were born to be rivals. Karna and Arjuna are both sons of Gods and both possess celestial and divine weapons that no one could match. The fight was so intense that even the Gods watched it and the entire army of both sides halt their battle in order to witness the awe inspiring duel to the death. In the end, Arjuna was the victor.
Arjuna regretted killing Karna after finding out that he is his older brother. But he got over it and decided to take care of his abandoned son and raised him as a Pandava. After the great war of Mahabharata, Arjuna continued doing numerous feats, both unrecorded and recorded in history and until his hair turned white and his skin turned grey, no one ever surpassed Arjuna in his skills of archery. Before the end of his life, Arjuna attained everything he wanted. Though he died without a mortal body as a Pandava, he never regretted an ounce of it and lived a life following the righteous path both as a Hero and as a Man.
